Episode Episode 45: The Nuclear Order Under Threat

0:00 33:13

The international nuclear realm is under severe strain. Since the 1960s, the international community has constructed a dense web of laws to govern nuclear matters. However, over the past decade, a wave of nuclear weapons activity has sparked concerns that we have entered a new nuclear age. This episode takes a hard look at the international legal issues surrounding this instability in the international nuclear order: whether the network of laws addressing nuclear non-proliferation, control and disarmament is capable of responding to the current challenges, as well as the possibility that it may itself be contributing to the dynamics unfolding in this new nuclear era. Anna Hood (Waipapa Taumata Rau The University of Auckland) is joined by Dan Joyner(University of Alabama) and Annelise Riles (Northwestern University).
